FYI: In 1977 Art Ensemble of Chicago trumpeter Lester Bowie traveled to Nigeria and played with Fela for several months, which he recounts, vividly, here: http://arthurmag.com/2009/11/02/lester-bowie-on-fela-kuti-1999/

I got the chance to see Fela in the 80's, maybe 1986? (like when he was here for the Amnesty International show at Giants Stadium). He played in this smallish place in Boston (which I think was mostly a dance club, I never saw anything else there). Mostly I remember how he kept complaining that the stage was so small that he couldn't even dance, which was obviously REALLY cramping his style.

Just one of those Brit cop shows I torrent. We keep binging through them and needing new-old fixes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:54pm
Īke:

Sometimes I think my dad doesn't watch anything BUT British cop shows and period pieces. I've given up recommending anything else to him. That said, he recommended Happy Valley to me and it's surprisingly gripping and suspenseful. Oddly though, he won't watch Ripper Street. Maybe because the title makes it sound like a horror show, but it's just a British period piece/cop show, so it should be right up his alley.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:55pm
Uncle Michael:

I like period cop shows. Fortunately, nineties shows are now period shows. Happy Valley is on my list.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56pm
Gary:

I really liked Luther
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56pm
Uncle Michael:

I don't spend much time listening to the archives but this show is going to get me through three hours one day soon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
Uncle Michael:

I don't know Luther. I'll wiki it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
Gary:

It's a BBC (I think) cop show, but not period, it's contemporary
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
Īke:

IMHO each season of Luther is lamer than the last one. Brilliant actors, questionable scripts. Season 1 was solid, S2 kind of disappointing, S3 totally bogus. Your mileage may vary.
